Driver Magician 3.32 is the newest version of this shareware utility for Windows by GoldSolution Software, Inc. There is a downloadable trial version available for direct downloading from the developer's website. We can download it and install in a few minutes. It does not require any previous registration. The evaluation period lasts for 15 days. This program provides a useful tool for making drivers’ backups and drivers’ restoration. We can also select our operating systems and see our drivers update information and class, plus the supported OS, driver provider, driver version, if it is digitally signed, release date and file size. It is possible to check if we need to download any update for our drivers although we cannot actually download them in the non-registered version. It features an Unknown Device Detector, which gives information about the device name, class, device ID, etc. There are five icons for direct access to backup, restore, update, options and LiveUpdate. In addition, there is a toolbar menu containing these and other advanced options. It runs under Windows 98, Vista, and ME, 2000, XP, Server, 2003, operating systems.
Ensure all your hardware devices and software applications are performing at peak performance levels

The quick install and small memory footprint would lead you to hope that the rest of the program runs the same way. That's no sleight-of-hand: Backing up every driver on my computer, from Bluetooth and tablet controllers to Intel chip sets, took less than five minutes. Users can select drivers individually or hit the Select All button at the bottom of the spreadsheet-style layout. Hitting the Start Backup button opens a directory window, so you can choose where the drivers will be saved to, and then another click begins the process.
We recommend creating a designated folder for backing up your drivers, since Driver Magician will mimic your computer's folder tree and save each driver to an appropriate folder. Saving those to your desktop would be harder to clean up than splaying a deck of cards across a stage. It doesn't do much else. If you need to use the drivers it's backed up for you, you'll need to install them yourself. However, you'll be hard-pressed to find such a useful tool that's as easy to use as this, and that's no trick...
